Chapter 355: Polusalino: It's a conspiracy again between talking and laughing!
Katakuri's killing intent and battle intent came and dissipated quickly, because Porusalino had already led him into the conference room that was already occupied - although it was a sure thing for him to take up the throne of the Seven Martial Seas, the necessary procedures still had to be followed, and the content that Porusalino wanted to talk to him about this time was not limited to legal pirates.
"Hmph, can't you move faster, Polusalino!"
Dressed in the same size as Polusalino, but with a more fierce posture than him, the big admiral of the Admiral of the Admiral, the "Red Dog" Sakasky who had just returned from the Clifford Kingdom Naval Base in the New World, was sitting at the head of the conference table, smoking a cigar unhappily.
"Please, Admiral Akainu, how do you still want the old man to be fast? This is the distance from Drum Island to Marinfando, not the distance from the office of the Marshal of the Warring States to your office, do you think you can reach it with your feet? ”
Polusalino rolled his eyes and excused himself.
- As we all know, the entire upper floor of the fortress building of the Navy Headquarters is the office of the Admiral Sengoku (including the highest conference room), and the second top floor is the office of the admirals.
After the original Admiral Zefa was in charge of the relevant work of the Naval Academy, his office moved away as a whole, and the three of them divided the entire floor equally.
Coupled with the smile of the "Fuji Tiger" who later joined the "Three Giants of the Underworld Forces of Marin Fando" in the World Recruitment, the second top floor of the fortress building has four offices.
And the owners of these four offices, except for the unobtrusive guy Porusalino, the other three have not returned to Marin Fando for a long time, and they all have their own places to work.
But it was Polusalino, who had spent a lot of time here, that the marshal of the Warring States had arranged his office on the side, and Sakasky and Yixiao's office were next to the stairs to his floor.
To put it bluntly, as long as Polusalino appeared in the office, it was too embarrassing to read the newspaper, drink tea, sleep and cut his nails, and the Warring States Marshal was out of sight and out of mind, so he was distributed.
That's why Polusalino is weird Sakaski......
"Since you're here, let's stop talking that nonsense and get in place quickly!"
Sakaski didn't pay attention to Porusalino's "unspoken meaning" and said solemnly. Because if he was the marshal of the Warring States, he would have made the same choice - so many people come and go in the marshal's office every day, and it is a real shame for subordinates like Polusalino.
"Yes, yes, obey~"
Polusalino came to his place very casually, "Sit down, Katakuri." ”
“……”
Katakuri did not immediately follow what Polusalino said, but stared at each other without saying a word, and the momentum of both sides gradually increased.
The reason why Katakuri's mentality has gradually changed from resentment to peace over the years is partly because he himself figured out the twists and tragedies of the Charlotte family, who were ruled by BIGMOM with violence and fear, and on the other hand, because of the environment in which he was located, he was healed.
After all, as the navy took over the rule of Drum Island and carried out a series of renovation work on it, the happiness of the people living on Drum Island has greatly increased. And Katakuri and other cadres of the Charlotte family, although they were prisoners of the navy and were forced to undergo labor reform in the food factory here, but without the mother BIGMOM who would go crazy at any time and the battles of the past, some are just the families who get together and the warm daily life, and everyone, including Katakuri, is actually very satisfied with this life, and the past pain and hatred have begun to be healed.
Even the naval representative who oversaw them, Vice Admiral Karp, was an old man of immorality - even Charlotte Perospero, the most psychologically shady of all, became strange to get along with a sailor like him.
In the same way, the same influence of the naval corps Polusalino, who is in the same style as Lieutenant General Karp, on Katakuri and them.
However, Katakuri's healing memories and wounds were fully awakened the moment he met the Navy's iron-blooded Admiral Sakaski.
Obviously, when Polusalino and Sakasky encircled the Charlotte family's stronghold of Cake Island in the end, Katakuri did not participate, he confronted Kuzan on the front line;
Obviously the main force that killed BIGMOM, as well as the battle scene at that time, Katakuri also learned from Perospero and others later that it should be the most related to Polusalino;
Obviously, Katakuri seemed to see that those brothers and sisters who had lost their lives were mercilessly slaughtered by the demonic Sakasky, and even Charlotte Lingling, the supreme ruler of the Charlotte family, was burned to ashes by Sakasky's magma......
His ears also seemed to be haunted by the mournful cries and cries for help of his brothers and sisters, as well as Sakasky's cold words: "All pirates must die!" ”
Including this silent star, Sakasky was obviously expressionless, but Katakuri inexplicably felt that the corners of the other party's mouth raised a mocking arc......
Just like some people don't seem to be good people, Sakasky feels like a natural butcher of pirates - the kind that dreams of killing pirates.
The air in the conference room began to grow heavy, and green tendons burst from Katakuri's forehead, making the half of his face exposed to the outside extremely terrifying.
His fists clenched involuntarily, and the glutinous fruit ability that he had been using to make food all these years began to gather momentum, as if he had returned to the state of being soaked in the blood of the enemy......
But it was also at this moment of tension -
"Click!"
"Very good, very good! Sakasky's expression is on point! Katakuri's momentum is also good! ”
"But Katakuri, can you use your overlord domineering power a little? It doesn't need to be too strong, just make your overlord arc appear in the air, and then the air will vibrate, lest I have to do special effects......"
"When you're ready, you can do it again, I'll make a new one!"
“……”
Sakasky remained expressionless, but Katakuri looked at the "atmosphere buster" Polusalino with black eyes, who had pulled out a video phone bug at some point and was fiddling with it with a smile.
“…… What are you doing, Polusalino ......"
"Of course you're filming the confrontation between you and Sakasky, what else can you do?"
Polusalino shrugged his shoulders with an innocent expression, "It can't be that I'm repairing the air conditioner, right?" ”
That's right, Polusalino was filming, or more accurately, he was filming part of the big movie "Seven Martial Seas" produced by the Navy Headquarters.
- Two years ago, he and Sakasky had an exchange on the future development of the Navy on the Celestial Veil (Terror Three-Masted), an air fortress of the Navy, in which Polusalino made it clear that he would lead the Navy to "blossom stylistically" in this important phase of the Navy's transition to strategic contraction defense.
"Body" is very simple and easy to understand, it is the enhancement of combat effectiveness by secretly poking and prodding, including but not limited to research and development of black technology, equipment upgrading, further cultivation of talents, etc......
"Text" is much more complex than "style".
Polusalino and Sakasky briefly imagined the big movie "The Redemption of Impelton", but after careful analysis, they felt that the protagonist of Rear Admiral Mike Schofield, who was framed by pirates and forced to go to prison, was not gimmicky enough, and the idea of a tattoo tattoo with the design of the submarine prison on his back and famous sayings such as "free birds can't be closed" are also relatively sensitive, and it is easy to be found by the five old stars to find out the abnormal card review. So it's better to put this project on hold for a more secure work.
So Polusalino set up the big movie "Seven Martial Seas" - as the name suggests, it tells the story of the legitimate pirates who have now become the "Seven Martial Seas" organization under the command of the World Government. The specific content is probably how strong and terrifying they are, but they are intimidated by the power of the world government and become the guardians of justice......
Of course, the so-called being deterred by the power of the world government will not really appear in CP0 or the black suit of the world government according to reality, but the big guys of the navy pretend to be forced, and the world government is also to hang a flag - Polusalino will try to use the language of the camera to fool the five old stars while carrying private goods. Let them have the illusion that this movie is really made to promote the power and majesty of the world government, and the navy with a lot of images is nothing more than an extension of the power of the world government......
Therefore, one of the reasons why Polusalino asked Katakuri to come to Marin Fando today to discuss his becoming the king of the Seven Martial Seas is to shoot - it is impossible to let Katakuri appear in factory overalls with tools in his hands, so it will not be called "Seven Martial Seas", it will be called Marin Vando Senior Technical College Admissions Video......
By the way, since the current Seven Martial Seas are not yet fully in place, this film by Polusalino also includes the role of "propaganda" in the rhetoric of the five old stars - to let more pirates squeeze their heads to snatch the qualifications of the king of the Seven Martial Seas, and at the same time choose the right person to serve the world government.
But in fact, it was just talk, and the real propaganda part was the concept of private goods carried by Polusalino, which was a positive image of the Navy......
"What a joke!"
After a moment of silence, Katakuri coldly left such a sentence and turned to leave. But Polusalino instantly turned into a golden light and appeared in front of him, blocking him in time.
"Well~don't worry~"
Katakuri's pupils constricted suddenly—Polusalino's speed, no matter how many times, made his scalp tingle.
"Why don't we have a serious discussion first, and you can get into a state?"
"Shooting is just incidental~ Don't worry too much~ I still have to talk about business today~"
“……”
Katakuri looked at Polusalino, who was smiling brightly, and then at Sakaski, who had not changed at all, and finally chose to sit in the position that Polusalino had pointed out to him at the beginning.
"That's right~"
Porusalino walked over to Sakaski's side and sat down casually, creating a situation in which the two of them and Katakuri were "opposed" across the table.
"Let me ask you a question first, Katakuri, the comfortable life on Magnetic Drum Island shouldn't have made you, the former Charlotte family's supreme masterpiece, lose his basic judgment of the situation, right?"
Polusalino put on Commander Ikati's classic pose and got straight to the point.
“……”
Katakuri didn't rush to answer, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and he buried most of his face deeper under the turtleneck.
When the cadres of the Charlotte family were undergoing labor reform on Magnetic Drum Island, the Navy did not cut off their access to information about the outside world, but arranged for regular newspaper delivery every day at the behest of Polusalino. And not only big newspapers like the World Economic News, which have deep cooperation with the world government, but also all kinds of tabloids - it can be said that the information is transparent.
Therefore, Katakuri and others still have a clear understanding of the current situation in the world.
What kind of situation?
The BIGMOM Pirates, who stood at the apex of the pirates, were wiped out, and the Hundred Beast Pirates were basically wiped out, plus the rest of the navy's actions and results, in short, the decline of the pirates' power and the comprehensive suppression of the world government.
Under such circumstances, if Katakuri is the Five Old Stars and the ruler of the world government, he will definitely pursue the victory at all costs and seize the best opportunity to end the era of pirates.
But the five old stars did not do this, and after the world government achieved comprehensive suppression, the navy, the most violent agency under its command, strangely turned to strategic contraction defense.
What do you want to express? Polusalino? ”
Katakuri's eyes hesitated, and he asked in a deep voice - although as a survivor of the Charlotte Pirates that had been destroyed, he had long lost the initiative in facing the navy, but in today's conversation, he who was about to become the Seven Martial Seas needed an equal posture.
"Then I'll change the question,"
Pollusalino grinned when he heard this, and pulled one out of Sakasky's cigar box for himself, "Why do you think the Five Old Stars would agree to you becoming the king of the Seven Martial Seas?" ”
“.”
Katakuri frowned slightly—he hadn't expected Porusalino to be so straightforward.
Unlike the rest of the legal pirates (typically represented by Klockdahl), Katakuri and the Navy are more antagonistic, not just because of their natural identities.
After all, the BIGMOM Pirates to which he once belonged were destroyed by the Navy's Grand Fleet, and many of his relatives and subordinates were killed by the Navy, and there was actual hatred between the two sides.
From the perspective of a normal world government ruler, Katakuri knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for a person like him to become the object of consideration for His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas. Even if he has a decent fighting ability, even if the world government needs to establish a positive image, including benevolence and tolerance.
But just as the navy forcibly shifted to a strategic defensive posture when it was clearly superior, the world government strangely threw an olive branch to him, an unstable element.
So, what did the five old stars like about him?
There is only one truth! It is his instability that he likes, and his hatred and hostility towards the navy!
